That’s a lie. Some statistical research indicates that the differences between those who read at an earlier age than when formal school begins and those who do not virtually disappears by the time children reach third grade. Even when we look beyond the statistics, it is more likely that children who read early at their own instigation do so as a result of a steady diet of rich experiences with language, text, and human interaction from birth. They are ready earlier because the foundations have been laid and they are developmentally ready (which happens at a different place for different children). Conversely, children pressured into reading before they are ready have a negative Introduction: A Few Big Ideas | ix early experience, which often hinders their literacy growth and may even color the rest of their school life. How do we counter such challenges? As educators in preschool and kindergarten, you are in a unique position to look at literacy with a panoramic view. We must seize children’s natural curiosity, watch for their internal “I’m ready” buttons, learn what they know and don’t know and what their home literacy is like, and then teach what they need at individual points in time.

DESCRIPTORS Educational Technology; Higher Education; Instructional Materials; *Interactive Video; *Lesson Plans; Material Development; *Metacognition; Methods Courses; *Preservice Teacher Education; *Professional Development; *Teaching Methods IDENTIFIERS Digital Technology ABSTRACT This paper establishes a use for digital video in developing preservice teacher metacognition about the teaching process using a lesson plan-rating sheet as a guide. A lesson plan was developed to meet the specific needs of the methods instructors in a professional development program at a large public institution. The categories listed on the lesson planning document are: Instructional Objectives; State Objectives; Materials; Background Information; Learning Environment; Focus; Teaching Procedure; Explanation and Practice; Elaboration; Closure; and Assessment. After a semester of using the document, several of the methods instructors believed that preservice teachers were not successfully engaging in lesson planning and not displaying thought processes conducive to cogent, sequential, and organized lesson development. This need precipitated the development of a lesson plan-rating sheet. The lesson plan-rating sheet is based on the original lesson plan form with the addition of indicators. Those indicators are intended to focus the rater's attention on the details of lesson planning and to act as a tool to encourage discourse surrounding effective lesson planning and delivery of instruction in a mathematics methods course.

  • Barbara Mandigo Kelly Peace Poetry Contest Winners
    The Gathering by Ana Reisens Adult Category, First Place In the movie we sleep fearlessly on open planes because we cannot imagine any danger more tragic than those that have already passed. For weeks we have been arriving over the earth’s broken skin, over mountains and rivers, shaking the aching flagpoles from our shoulders. Now all the priests and imams and rabbis and shamans are gathered beside the others, teachers, brothers and kings and they’re sharing recipes and cooking sweet stories over fires. Suddenly we hear a voice calling from the sky or within – or is it a radio? – and it sings of quilts and white lilies as if wool and petals were engines. It’s a lullaby, a prayer we all understand, familiar like the scent of a lover’s skin. And as we listen we remember our grandmothers’ hands, the knitted strength of staying, how silence rises like warmth from a woven blanket. And slowly the lines begin to disappear from our skin and our memories spin until we’ve forgotten the I of our own histories and everyone is holy, everyone is laughing, weeping, singing, It’s over, come over, come in. And this is it, the story, an allegory, our movie – the ending and a beginning. The producer doesn’t want to take the risk. No one will watch it, he says, but we say, Just wait. All the while a familiar song plays on the radio and somewhere in a desert far away a soldier in a tank stops as if he’s forgotten the way.

  • Euell Porter
    Euell Porter Material prepared by Maurice Alfred Biographical Sketch of Euell Porter 1910-1998 Edwin Euell Porter was born October 10, 1910 near Franklin, Texas and died September 23, 1998, in Waco Texas. He was the last of six children born to George W. and Alma Parker Porter. His parents worked a small farm outside of Franklin in Robertson County. George W. came from Missouri and was a second generation Irish immigrant. Euell’s mother was of Cajun descent with hair as “black as coal.” His twin sisters, Addis Mae and Gladys Faye, and his brothers, Richard Bland, Samuel Lewis, and George Felton, took care of their little brother almost from his birth. When Porter was about six, his mother became bedridden with influenza and he remembered his mother saying “bring that baby here and let him stand by the bed and sing for me.” Though his mother was ill, the Porter’s sang and made music each night, with his sister Addis or his brother Sam playing the piano, and the rest of the family singing. His mother’s illness became progressively worse, and she died when he was eight. After her death, the family moved to a farm near Pettaway, Texas. Their new house and farm were much larger, with one room set aside for music. In the music room there was a pump organ and a five pedal upright piano. The family continued its tradition of singing, with his sister Addis Mae playing the organ and brother Samuel Lewis playing the piano. In the early 1920’s, Porter attended a singing school in Boone Prairie and it was there he learned to read shaped notes.

    Journal of the Music & Entertainment Industry Educators Association Volume 14, Number 1 (2014) Bruce Ronkin, Editor Northeastern University Published with Support from Songs As Branding Platforms? A Historical Analysis of People, Places, and Products in Pop Music Lyrics Storm Gloor University of Colorado Denver Abstract Artists have become decidedly more accustomed to partnering with product marketers. Typically, though, the relationships have involved tour sponsorships, endorsements, or the use of the artist’s music in commer- cials. There are plenty of examples of using popular music in advertising. However, how often has there been advertising in popular music? Artists are in a sense “brands.” Many of them appear to promote or acquaint au- diences with their lifestyles through the music they create. Popular songs can serve not only as a mechanism for the subtle marketing of commer- cial consumer products, but also as a platform for marketing artists. Three types of branding devices are typically employed by songwriters: the men- tion of specific product brands, geographical places including cities and states, and well-known people (e.g., celebrities, cultural icons, and politi- cians). The aim of this study is to identify just how often these three types of lyrical references have occurred in popular songs through the years. How frequently have popular songs employed lyrics that may be serving the purpose of branding or advertising consumer products or the artists themselves, and are there observable trends regarding the practice over

Neither is, generally speaking, absent from a given historical earthquake, but they may be present in many different forms. The Great War as ‘great divide’ has been explored in the historiography in a number of manners. For Arthur Marwick,1 the war was ‘The Deluge’, and this biblical image was chosen to suggest the irrevocable social changes (sometimes positive, he felt) brought about by the conflict. For Paul Fussell,2 the war was a moment of enduring transformation of aesthetic modes of expression: the experiences of the canonical creative minds of that generation, he claims, led to their rejecting of the old, Romantic ways of seeing the world.

Media education, however, occupies a somewhat marginal place in compulsory schooling, and its theorists and practitioners have given relatively little attention to the question of how to teach the media to elementary school children. This question is explored through an auto-ethnography and métissage spanning more than twenty years of media use, media studies, and media education. Three shifts in emphasis are particularly central to the thesis. The first is a shift from a protectionist to a more open, albeit critical stance with respect to children‘s media use. The second is a shift from conceiving of media education in terms of a pre-packaged curriculum towards the co-construction of learning experiences with the students, guided by Egan‘s theory of imaginative education.
